    URUGUAY GETS INNOVATIVE U.S. WIND

    Nordic Windpower’s First Utility Scale Wind Turbines Headed for Uruguay
    December 7, 2009 (Nordic Windpower/Pacific Communications)

    "Nordic Windpower announced…that the first three of its two-bladed wind turbines, destined for community and distributed wind energy projects in North and South America, have begun their journey to Rocha, Uruguay…The company plans to deliver 16 more N1000 wind turbines to community wind projects as well as a school system, a municipal utility and a military base beginning in early 2010. The company is presently firming up the rest of its 2010 order-book. In July 2009, Nordic Windpower was the only wind energy company to be awarded a Loan Guarantee from the U.S. Department of Energy.

    "The N1000 turbines, 1 MW each, were purchased by Nuevo Manantial S.A. as part of the 13 MW Nuevo Manantial Wind Farm located in Paraje Ojos de Agua, Uruguay. The project will reduce GHG emissions by displacing fossil-fuel based electricity generation in the connected system of the Uruguayan utility, UTE."

    Until Uruguay develops more grid, it will have to rely on localized community wind. (click to enlarge)

    [Diego Martinez, COO, Nuevo Manantial:] “The Nordic Windpower turbines are a very good match for our company’s need for reliable and cost-effective wind energy generation…”

    "…Nordic Windpower designs, manufactures and sells innovative, two-bladed utilityscale wind turbines for community and distributed wind markets worldwide. The company’s N1000 turbine has the lowest installed cost of any similarly sized turbine on the market, combined with high reliability…"
